Your Everyday Cure for Caseitis – The XXTender
#### What is it?
Built using custom made, highly durable pass-thru headers, the XXTender solves your flippers case of "caseitis".
If you don't know what caseitis is, it's that annoying situation in where you buy an awesome third party flipper compatible module that doesn't quite stay plugged in because the case gets in the way.
The XXTender is made with a very thin PCB that fits snuggly between the flipper and the case ensuring a seamless fit. When in use the XXTender extends the GPIO pins above the case. In addition to curing "caseitis" it also helps saves your flipper from wearing down the pins due to repeated insertion and removal of GPIO Boards.
The XXTender also includes noise filtering capacitors for both the 3 & 5 volt rails, as well as, a color matched flipper orange LED for indication when 5v is turned on. The LED is situated in such a way so that when it is on it is semi covered by the case, diffusing the light.
#### Why did I make it?
I actually made it after seeing photos of people's silicone cases being cut, or modified as to allow for the addition of GPIO modules that would otherwise not "stay put" when inserted. I also noticed that it was the most common complaint people would complain about in regard to the silicone case.
#### Installation Tips:
the pins are trimmed to be the exact depth to stay put in the GPIO Header, while remaining flush against the flipper. make sure to SLOWLY insert the XXTender into the GPIO headers until the board is flush against the top of the flipper. Once fully inserted, you can place your case back on top by starting with the GPIO holes first, and working the case around the flipper SLOWLY as to prevent damage to the case.
